Document. Book review of "The Discovery of Peace" by Sampson, "The Concept of Peace" by Macquarrie, and "Violence" by Gunn in THE NEW REPUBLIC. ~ Gordon provides brief descriptions of the content of each book and says that they each have serious flaws. He says "esoteric literary analysis, theological speculations, and even violence of the road do not now seem adequate as responses to the pressing need to take the true measure of war and violence." ~ The New Republic ~ 12/22 ~ 25-26
